SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD
Our highest priority is to nurture the environment. We are committed to protecting the unique marine environment at Big Glory Bay. It’s at the core of what we do.
We don’t just say that our Big Glory Bay King Salmon is “sustainably ocean farmed with care” – we mean it, and we have the credentials to prove it. Our aquaculture practices are rigorously audited and certified each year by the highest authority in global aquaculture.
Our sustainable farming practices include farm relocation, low pen density, and dedicated fish health and algae monitoring programmes.
King Salmon from New Zealand has been rated 'Best Choice' by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Programme.
OUR COMMUNITY
Farming at Stewart Island/Rakiura is a privilege. We honour that privilege by supporting the local community.
One way is by putting 10 cents from every Big Glory Bay King Salmon sold into our Salmon Grant Fund. That fund supports the Stewart Island/Rakiura and Bluff communities to develop meangingful local projects.
We do this to recognise and thank those communities for all their support of our salmon farming and processing activities since we took over the farm back in 1993.
CULINARY PERFECTION
Our ocean-farmed Big Glory Bay King Salmon has a unique texture and flavour that is valued around the world. We aim to produce the best-quality, best-tasting salmon that’s certain to delight the most discerning customer. Our salmon is consistently exceptional eating.
With minimal intervention we are able to look after our fish and our environment to produce a salmon that tastes as glorious as the environment in which it swam. We know our customers appreciate that as much as we do.
TRACEABLE
Through our partnership with Oritain, our King Salmon can always be traced back to Big Glory Bay, protecting our reputation and protecting our customers from food fraud.
Oritain is the world leader in scientifically verifying the origin of foods. Its forensic method traces the actual product back to the source, rather than relying on packaging or barcodes. The Oritain Trustmark is the assurance that our products can be scientifically verified as authentic Big Glory Bay King Salmon.
BAP CERTIFICATION
Our Big Glory Bay salmon farm has been proudly Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certified since 2016. This is the world’s most trusted, comprehensive and proven third-party aquaculture certification programme.
Built on the four pillars of Environmental Responsibility, Animal Health and Welfare, Food Safety and Social Accountability, our certification applies to the lifecycle of the salmon. BAP certification is one way we prove our commitment to the environment, social integrity, salmon wellbeing and the health of our consumers.
